Question

Is it recommended to appeal to members of function 2a (mobile crisis team) and function 4 (hospital units) in moment that the 2b-team is in lack of adequate resources to ensure a high standard (quality) care?

Problem description

at present there is already a huge caseload, with a 20% shared caseload. This means that not only in the evenings but also in the weekend visits must be performed. And this with a limited staff, within an extended region

Impact - effect

In these circumstances the providing of high standard quality care may come under pressure. It’s not just about not providing the right treatment but also to have sufficient time to evaluate the treatment that has been set up.  This can have a negative impact on on the perception of the reliability and accessibility of the 2b-team

To do

To do: we must look for partners in developing the treatment, i.e. to come to a consensus and agreements about the situations in which we an appeal can be made to collaborators of, for instance, function 2a and function 2, as is the case in North Holland North (crosslinks between F-ACT, residential treatment setting and crisis intervention)
